Brain anatomy Flashcards
Forebrain develops into
Telencephalon, diencephalon->
the telencephalon develops into ___
the cerebral hemispheres, the basal ganglia
The diencephalon develops into
the thalamus and the hypothalamus
The mid brain becomes the
mesencephalon
Mesencephalon becomes the
brain stem and cerebral peduncle
The hindbrain becomes the
rhombencephalon
The rhompencephalon becomes the
metencephalon and the myeloencephalon
The metencephalon becomes the
pons and cerebellum
the myeloencephalon becomes the
medulla oblongata
A
Prefrontal association areas,(idea and plan for voluntary movement, thoughts, personality)
B
Premotor cortex (coordinates voluntary movement)
C
Primary motor cortex (voluntary movement)
D
Central sulcus
E
Primary somatosensory cortex (somesthetic sensations and proproprioception)
F
Sensory association areas (integration of sensory info)
G
Visual association areas (higher vision processing)
H
Primary visual cortex (vision)
I
Wernicke’s area, (language comprehension)
J
Auditory association areas
K
Primary auditory cortex (hearing)
L
Limbic association cortex (emotions, learning and memory)
M
olfactory cortex (smell)
N
Broca’s area (speech formation)- expressive aphasia
Central sulcus, AKA
Rolandic Fissure
Central Culcus separates
frontal and parietal lobes
motor and sensory cortices
Damage to broca’s area causes
broca aphasia- an expressive aphasia, understand language but speech and writing labored and non-fluent
Prefrontal cortex function
attention, problem-solving, analytical, and inhibiting emotion
damage to frontal lobe is called:
frontal lobe syndrome
Frontal lobe syndrome is characterized by
mood and personality change, apathy, aggressiveness, emotional instability, and impulsiveness
Damage to Wernicke’s area causes
Wernickes aphasie
